poppler-0.6.2
poppler-data-0.1.1
cairo-1.4.12

In configure you have:

--enable-dvi            Compile with support of dvi viewer
--enable-t1lib          Compile with support of t1lib for type1 fonts in dvi

After running configure I end up:

configure: WARNING: "Dvi support is disabled since kpathsea library is 
not found. Check your TeX installation."

My real question is how does evince gain Type 1 font support?  An if 
it's dvi, where can I get a tex installation that supports kpathsea?
I googled around a little and really couldn't come up with anything.

thanks!,
